Jan 1, 2024 · Employing in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM), we observed the Zn plating and stripping processes on the Zn metal anode and investigated the effect of initial stripping over the interfacial evolution.

Nov 16, 2021 · The FCOF@Zn symmetric cells show lower voltage hysteresis (FCOF@Zn: 60 mV vs. bare Zn: 80 mV), which we mainly attribute to the enhanced Zn 2+ transport within the 1D fluorinated...

In recent years, many researchers have focused on Zn anode modification to restrain dendrite growth. This review introduces the energy storage mechanism and current challenges of AZIBs, and then some modifying strategies for zinc anodes are elucidated from the perspectives of experiments and theoretical calculations.

Dec 30, 2024 · In summary, we monitored the real-time Zn-air interfacial evolution in Zn(OTf) 2-based non-alkaline electrolyte using in situ AFM and in situ OM in a working battery.

Jan 10, 2015 · Zinc deposition within 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate (BMIm OTf) with 0.34 mol kg −1 trifluoromethanesulfonate (Zn(OTf) 2) was analyzed by in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM). We describe a compact, textured morphology that has not been reported before.

Here we utilize in situ atomic force microscopy to visualize the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation and Zn deposition/dissolution processes in WIS electrolyte and construct relationships between interfacial behavior and electrochemical performance.

Jun 5, 2020 · Zn metal has been regarded as the most promising anode for aqueous batteries due to its high capacity, low cost, and environmental benignity. Zn anode still suffers, however, from low Coulombic efficiency due to the side reactions and dendrite growth in …

Oct 7, 2022 · To verify the dendrite-inhibiting behavior, SEM and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements were performed to investigate the morphology of Zn deposits after 30 cycles of stripping/plating under different current densities and capacities (Figure 2).

Surface morphology evo- lution during sample immersion in an HCO 3 -con- taining NaCl solution was examined by ex situ AFM studies. The obtained images are presented in Figs. 2 5b, c, ... ......

In this work, the stability and dissolution behavior of hydroxide-stabilized ZnO(0001)−Zn surfaces within electrolyte solutions was investigated by a combined approach of in-situ AFM studies and ex-situ LEED studies.
